Fast generation with solid base composition, but limited detail. Best for drafts, idea exploration, and creating reference images.
For final ad / video output
Very high detail (skin, texture, lighting), strong cinematography understanding (close-ups, low angles, depth of field), naturalistic lighting, and excellent consistency across frames. Suitable for direct use in ads and video. Slower generation speed.
